Regular Exercise Prevents Tooth Loss

Research conducted at the Western Reserve School of Dental Medicine, and published in the Journal of Periodontology, found the prevalence of periodontitis, a gum infection that causes the loss of teeth, was reduced by 29% among adults who exercise regularly!

Periodontitis is the main cause of tooth loss.   23% of adults, age 65 and older suffer from periodontitus.   30% of Americans, age 65 and older no longer have any natural teeth.
